Hey guys! This is Tram from www.phi-style.com, new and proud contributing editor here at Brooklyn Bride. My contribution to Brooklyn Bride will be mainly fashion and style. My first post then, in light of Fashion Week which has been going in full force the past couple months – The Runway Bride.

For the bride who wants to look modern and maybe a little untraditional, runway fashion is a great way to inspire ideas and help you narrow down the look you want to achieve on your wedding day. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with wedding dresses that all look the same – couture fashion can help bring back your personal style. - Tram @ Phi-Style

Prabal Gurung has been quoted as describing his collection to have been inspired by “the intelligent woman. The brain is her most important feature.” The clean silhouettes are perfectly accompanied by intricate detail that doesn’t overwhelm the long, lean lines of the dress. Smart.

Although this collection was inspired by the Ice Queen, the gowns are anything but frigid. Gorgeous detailing with soft feathers and chiffon to balance the structured bodices. If the rumors of Kate Middleton selecting the House of Alexander McQueen to design her wedding gown are true, she’ll be the best Ice Queen of England ever!

There were definitely some misses last night at the Oscars, but here are some ladies that did it up right! Far and away my favorite was Cate Blanchett’s Givenchy stunner…she always brings the most architectural and daring dresses to life.
